CSA introduces new certification programs for smart home devices, easing compatibility with Apple Home and others.

The Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) has introduced new certification programs to simplify the certification process for smart home devices. Apple now accepts Matter certification results, allowing devices to be labeled "Works With Apple Home" without additional testing. This move aims to reduce costs and time for manufacturers, making it easier for products to be compatible with Apple Home, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings. CSA's FastTrack and Portfolio Certification Programs further streamline the process for multiple products and software updates.
